Jessie Poquerusse

While Jessie was born and grew up outside Paris, France, she quickly found an inevitable passion for the mountains through the Alps. Drawn to all aspects of life at altitude, Jessie has since conducted research in high altitude physiology and has instructed skiing, rock climbing and ice climbing in British Columbia, Colorado and New Hampshire as well as managed and directed several outdoor programs targeted to individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. Alongside her passion for the mountains, she is pursuing graduate research in neurogenetics and computational neuroscience at Dartmouth Medical School and the Montreal Neurological Institute.
